2011 Steeler rookie of the year

My vote for team rookie of the year is Wes Saunders offense.
Cam Heyward Defense
Special Teams Curtis Brown
A case can be made for Marcus Gilbert for Steelers ORY but he was demoted last week due to his lackluster preparation

I think Marcus Gilbert is the odds on favorite. He's had the most playing time of the rookies and has gotten increasingly better as the year has gone on. Yeah he was disciplined last week, and I'm sure he'll learn from it. Sometimes players just need a wake up call and "brought back down to earth" when they get a little too cocky or show up late for meetings.

I think it's closer than you think Saunders may not show up in the box score to often he has been a solid performer.It's hard to believe that Wes is only 25 pounds lighter than Cam Heyward that a big target hopefully he will explode in the playoffs. I think he would have caught that ball that Spaeth dropped in the endzone in the super bowl.Gilbert has had too many mediocre games IMO.

gilbert and heyward dont show up on the box score either lol....

gilbert has had an up and down year but hes hands down a better option than scott and hes playing with a TON of less than mediocre talent on that line....it was an uphill battle from day one and i like what hes done
